WHO Special Envoy Says We May Never Find a Covid-19 Vaccine and Closures May Become the Norm

David Nabarro stressed that it is "absolutely essential" that all countries be able to "defend against the coronavirus as a constant threat."

The special envoy of the World Health Organization (WHO) on covid-19, David Nabarro, declared this Monday during an interview with CNN that there is no "absolute assumption" that "a vaccine will appear" against the new coronavirus and that governments will have to respond to future outbreaks with regional or national closings.

We cannot make an absolute assumption that a vaccine [against covid-19] will appear or that, if it appears, it will pass all the efficacy and safety tests, "said the specialist.

Italian scientist says she discovered main mechanism behind COVID-19

https://www.jpost.com/health-sci ... ind-covid-19-626737

Chiusolo is a graduate of the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Perugia, Italy, and works as a pharmacist in the European country. Her theory has been published by some of the country’s leading newspapers, including the Italian dailies Il Tempo and Il Giornale.

She told the Post that SARS-CoV-2, the formal name for the novel coronavirus, needs porphyrins for its survival – and probably for its replication – so it attacks hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the blood, which translates to less oxygen available for the body. The consequence of less oxygen is the accumulation of carbon dioxide.

Scientists find new mutation of coronavirus that mirrors a change in the 2003 SARS virus that showed the disease was weakening

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/heal ... getting-weaker.html

Scientists at Arizona State University sequenced the viral genome of coronavirus from 382 patients in the state
In one of the samples, they found a significant mutation in the relatively stable virus
The genome of a viral sample taken from one patient was missing 81 out of 30,000 genetic 'letters'
It was the same mutation seen in the SARS virus in 2003 that marked the virus's changes toward the end of the five-month epidemic
These deletions also weaken the ability of the virus to fight the host's immune system  
It's the first example of this mutation, but the researchers say that as sequencing expands, similar deletions could be detected elsewhere

Coronavirus: Tanzania testing kits questioned after goat and papaya test positive

(President John Magufuli) said the COVID-19 tests had been imported from abroad, although he did not give further details.

In a live broadcast from his hometown of Chato in north-western Tanzania yesterday, Mr Magufuli revealed that he secretly commissioned testing of randomly collected non-human samples, which were assigned names and ages.

When we sent a papaya [paw-paw] sample and named it Elizabeth Anne, aged 26 years, that papaya was positive,” said Mr Magufuli.

He added that samples from a bird and a goat both tested positive, while one from a rabbit was found to be indeterminate.
